Utilizing the “T & E” in STEM

1. Utilizing the “T & E” in STEM Presenter: Michael Tedeschi Baltimore County Public Schools Perry Hall Middle School 4300 Ebenezer Road Baltimore, Maryland 21236 Image: http://www.beijingholiday.com/assets/images/news/maglev.jpg

2. ScienceTEM Science: The study of the natural world to gain understanding Big Idea: Magnetism & transfer of power

3. STechnologyEM Technology: Systems or tools that are created by humans Big Idea: Maglev, magnets (electromagnets), electronic/electrical power, motor system, tools for construction

4. STEngineeringM Engineering: Applying knowledge of the known world (science) in order to create a technology Big Idea: Design process & exploration of engineering careers

5. STEngineeringM Provide students with an opportunity to explore the design process.

6. STEMathematics Mathematics: Measuring, analyzing, describing, predicting and communication using numbers. Big Idea: Data collection and analysis

7. Maglev Engagement Provide students with an opportunity to see a model maglev at work.

8. Maglev–Track & Ramp • Built Ramp (8 ft.) • Est. $15.00 • Kelvin Maglev Track (8 ft.) • Price $145.00 • Vernier Photo Gates

9. Maglev–Power Supply • Kelvin Power Supply Price $125.00

10. Getting started…Gaining an Understanding of the Maglev Resources Understanding Sharing

11. Getting started… Mind Mapping

12. Identifying Possible Social, Economic, and Environmental Impacts

13. Maglev (Science)–Magnetism Attract and repel are not good enough!!!

14. Maglev (Science)–Energy Transfer Simple Complex

15. Maglev (Science) Understanding laws of motion

16. Maglev (Science)–Energy Transfer + + + + + +

17. Maglev Exploration (Technology) Identify the how the 9 Core Technologies apply to the Maglev Germany Japan

18. Maglev Exploration (Technology) • Materials Tech. • Mechanical Tech. • Electrical Tech. • Electronic Tech. • Structural Tech.   • Fluid Tech.   • Optical Tech. • Thermal Tech.   • Bio Tech. Maryland 9 Core Technologies

19. Maglev Exploration (Engineers) • Identify the various engineering fields. • What jobs are needed to make the maglev? (focus on the engineering fields) • How do you become an engineer?

20. Maglev–Design and Construction You must create a working Maglev model to win the companies latest contract bid proposal. The contract is for a Magnetic Levitation vehicle to be used in the high-speed transportation of people. In order to win the bid contest you must design, construct, test and communicate your finding to the FRA

21. Constraints are important Sled size Cabin size One Motor/ Propeller Electricity comes from the guide way Motor must be mounted securely 6. Information must be recorded and communicated effectively
